I have searched for previous solutions, but have not been able to understand the explanations provided. I'm hoping to get this question is answered in a straight-forward thinking, novice-level explanation that can help myself and others.

 

If we have a SharePoint Person or Group column that allows the user to select multiple persons, how can we create a flow that allows an email to be sent to these multiple emails? Assuming we've followed the other tutorials that assist with the other parts of the flow, how do we convert multiple emails into a string?

 

Assuming the column name is "Managers", selecting the dynamic content for Managers Email returns an error:

 

 

Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Send_an_email_(V2)' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language expression 'triggerBody()?['Managers']?['Email']' cannot be evaluated because property 'Email' cannot be selected. Array elements can only be selected using an integer index. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions for usage details.'. 

 

 

I've attempted to follow other solutions and initialize a variable, but many solutions omit several steps.

    @RodM  Please follow these steps -

    I am appending semicolon in append to string action so that each email will be separated by ;.
